Southsea Castle Rotary Club are brought together by the common aims of Rotary, working to improve the lives and welfare of people in our area and further afield through Rotary International.
Our Club prides itself on being open, welcoming and active. Southsea Castle Rotary Club has led the way in our District with inclusivity and equality because we have always believed that Rotary is for everybody.
In an age of cynicism and self-interest, we think it is still relevant to give back, help others and make the world a better place for people and nature.
Our Club meets every Wednesday, most weeks of the year. Over the years we have run our meetings from several different locations. Currently we use the Holiday Inn, Pembroke Road PO1 2TA.
Club meetings cover the organising and planning of our activities, reporting on our recent work and enjoying a meal, in each others company.
We are organised, with a President, Vice President and several Officers managing specific aspects of our work. Hence we get things done!
We have provided a list of projects on the front page of our website. The list automatically updates as we complete Projects, so you can see just how active we are.
What you can't see on the wesbite is the work we have in planning. Members bring Project Ideas to the Club, most every week. New ideas are added to our Project Management system, shared amongst members, who consider and score them. The highest ranked projects are then matched to our available resources and promoted to Live Projects, part of our overall Programme of works. Sounds a bit "business-like" but, frankly, handling things efficiently and openly like this ensures that all members have their say - and it makes more time for other things.
